Master Music Composition — Creative Practice

Der Master Composition kennt zwei Vertiefungen: Contemporary Jazz (siehe vorangehende Seiten) und Creative Practice. In Creative Practice sind Studierende oft ihre eigenen Autor*innen und Interpret*innen und der Begriff «composition» wird dabei bewusst sehr weit gefasst, was Medien, Formate, Arbeitsprozesse u.a.m. anbelangt.

Alexandra Carlgren A scent of

The work A scent of is based on the concept of exhaustion and wants to explore how it can visually feel and look to be a performer and musician. Is it possible to create an instrument within the concept that is so large that it is impossible to play and to keep alive? To a member of the audience it is usually hidden what happens behind the scenes. All the preparation, hard work, sweat, performance anxiety, fighting spirit and energy. It is all this that the piece both physically and visually wants to accommodate.

Gemma Ragués Pujol STIMULI

STIMULI is a crossroad where gestures and sounds create a constellation of possibilities – appearing both in multiple forms and manners; the performance explores the tension and possibilities existing between specific physical stimuli (gestures) which trigger an audible result (sound).

Isandro Ojeda-Garcia INITIAL

INITIAL is a beginning and a point in the middle of a line. The beginning of the universe and a chapter of the human drama. A hybrid between music and video as a single entity. An immersive project of digital inspiration.

Luz-Mari González Dysphoria

For human and non human performers

What is the physical in the human, what is the human in the body? Dysphoria deals with bodies to which society’s imposed «normativity» does not apply. Enveloped in the musical universe of fantasy, voices tell us about their history. By being embodied in images of hybrid beings, the voices are positioned in space. One of the mixed beings was originally a person. Like the other characters it tells on stage about its experiences, or rather about the mutation of the body through surgery, illness, live. Dysphoria is a multimedia composition consisting of music, scenography, text and performance. A piece about humans, from a post-humanist perspective.

Johannes Werner Boote und Palmen

Boote und Palmen is a music-theatrical performance based on the three works King Quest, BnD and Sensual Screaming by Johannes Werner, examining physical presence and its aesthetics in digital and virtual environments. Working with sound, text and performance, the piece follows a journey between realities, abstractions, closeness and dissolving – strength, optimum, fragility and tenderness.

Wir verändern unsere Form und damit unsere Bedürfnisse. Aber wir kommunizieren, und das ist was zählt. Wir teilen uns mit, wir sind präsent, wir senden und empfangen. Wir zählen Boote und Palmen, wir sind real.

Maryana Lysenko Muteness mutation

Staccato of raindrops. Glissando of wind noise. Crescendo of rustling foliage. Everything that sounds around us is saturated with timbres, rhythms, acoustics, forms. Changing time and space turn natural objects into musical instruments, giving them a new structure and form, placing in new circumstances – this becomes the concept of the project.
